Template:Infobox File/type

This template offers a multiple choice for defining the type category of a file page. It can also automatically categorize a page under that category.

Parameters

1. The selected type from the following values (no parameter name and values are case insensitive):
   • character portrait
   • enemy portrait
   • fan art
   • holomap image
   • icon
   • ingame screenshot
   • item image
   • mbox icon
   • misc game
   • misc web
   • movie screenshot
   • package
   • promotional
   • savegame
   • scene map
   • theme icon
   • user avatar
   • any other (non)empty value defaults to: unknown

• nocat: Whether or not to suppress categorization under the chosen category (defaults to false, which means auto categorization).

Note: more category values may be added, provided the category pages in question are also created and organized into a logical category structure.

Syntax

{{Infobox File/type|value}}

Examples

Any of the above values may be used like this:

{{Infobox File/type|icon}}
{{Infobox File/type|character portrait}}
{{Infobox File/type|item image}}
{{Infobox File/type|user avatar}}

Icon ^{[list all]}

Character Portrait ^{[list all]}

Item Image ^{[list all]}

User Avatar ^{[list all]}

The case of the value is not important:

{{Infobox File/type|uSER aVATar}}

User Avatar ^{[list all]}

You may leave the "type" undefined (which would raise the Files of unknown type maintenance task) by not specifying any valid value, so these all have the same result:

{{Infobox File/type}}
{{Infobox File/type|}}
{{Infobox File/type|document}}
{{Infobox File/type|word}}
{{Infobox File/type|pdf}}
{{Infobox File/type|monospaced}}
{{Infobox File/type|arial}}
{{Infobox File/type|savegame}}

unknown ^{[list all]}

The nocat parameter may be used to suppress automatic categorization like this (any value will do):

{{Infobox File/type|icon|nocat=true}}

This would render the same result as the first example above, but would not automatically categorize under Category:Icons. This feature works both on valid values and the maintenance task mentioned above.
